Cancer researchers publish findings on rare childhood leukemia

New findings on juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) were recently published. JMML is a very rare and aggressive form of childhood leukemia most often found in children younger than 6. Only about 50 children in the United States are diagnosed with JMML each year. While the most successful therapy is bone marrow transplantation, this intensive treatment is only effective for about 50 percent of patients and can result in long-term side effects.
